All‐silica Beta zeolite was recently proven by our group to display a surprisingly high capacity and affinity for perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid even in the presence of an excess of competing low‐molecular organic compounds. We reply to a comment, which argues that this zeolite's performance does not surpass that of some specific carbon materials.
